Nikon Coolpix S1

Nikon Coolpix S1 03/17/2005 03:52 AM

Out of seemingly nowhere emerges the Nikon Coolpix S1, obviously a stab at recent offerings from Casio and Sony (think Exilim and Cybershot T series). But gee whiz, I had no idea a Nikon could look anything like this — it has a 5.1MP CCD and 0.75" thick aluminum body. Estimated at around 45,000 yen, the S1 provides 3x optical zoom, a boatload of photographic features I'm having a hard time translating like "Face Clear Function", a 2.5" monitor and SD memory card slot. Expect to see the S1 available in three colors: Metal Silver, Dolce Black and Cream White.

Nikon announced on Thursday an addition to its line of professional SLR cameras, the D2X, as well as three new Coolpix cameras: the 4800, 8400 and 8800 models. In addition, the company introduced a new lens, the AF-S VR Nikkor 300mm f/2.8G IF-ED super-telephoto, which is compatible with all of its digital and film SLR cameras. Expected to ship in January 2005, the new lens offers two vibration reduction modes, a focus mode switch for choosing between manual-priority auto-focus and manual focus, a silent wave motor and Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass. No pricing was announced.

Nikon 4 Megapixel Coolpix 4100

Nikon 4 Megapixel Coolpix 4100 05/28/2004 12:44 PM

Nikon's got a new Coolpix coming out this summer with a 4-megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom, 1.6-inch LCD and--in a rare return to early digicam form--14.5MB of internal memory. The Coolpix 4100 will also take SD cards for additional storage and should be price around $300. One thing I love about Nikon is that they tend to release their own underwater housings for their cameras and the 4100 will be getting one, as well. Even though many 3rd party housings are just as good or better, it's usually a lot easier to buy from the manufacturer.

The D2X isn't the only camera Nikon announced today, introducing three new models into its consumer CoolPix line: the CoolPix 8800, an 8-megapixel, 10x zoom model with a vibration reduction system (a first for the CoolPix line); the CoolPix 8400, an 8-megapixel camera with a wide-angle lens and the fetal alcohol chassis design; and the CoolPix 4800, a 4-megapixel, 8.3x optical point-and-shoot model.

Nikon also mentioned a new F-series film SLR - the F6 - if you still like to rock the nitrates.

Nikon Coolpix 5900 Reviewed (Verdict:
Good for Newbies) 04/18/2005 08:22 AM

The Nikon Coolpix 5900 is a step towards the consumer camera of the future. It doesn't offer a lot of finesse, like manual exposure control over aperture and shutter speeds, but it does offer things like 'Face-Priority AF,' (automatic focus on human faces) and D-Lighting (automatic contrast correction). Now they don't always work—the Face-Priority in particular has some problems picking the right face on which to focus—but when they do they can make taking high-quality pictures much easier for people that don't know what they're doing. That said, if you're already a photography champ, the $350 Nikon 5900 is only going to get in your way.

Nikon's new 12 megapixal camera will feature an 802.11g adapter option: Nikon currently enables 802.11b access but the new adapter option will allow the faster transmission of photos. The wireless access combined with software enables wireless remote control from a laptop of the camera. The camera, without the Wi-Fi adapter, is expected to cost a whopping $5,000. The previous version of the camera costs around $3,000 but sold very well to its target professional audience. A review of the 802.11b version offers more details on what Wi-Fi connectivity means for photographers....

Nikon not abandoning 35mm -- yet

Nikon not abandoning 35mm -- yet 11/18/2003 12:42 PM
Turned out to be completely untrue, but last week a Japanese newspaper reported that Nikon was planning to kill their line of 35mm compact cameras and go entirely digital. Though you gotta wonder how long it'll be until one of the big manufacturers does decide to exit the consumer 35mm camera business entirely. Can't be more than a year or two. Read...

Nikon D2X, 12.4-Megapixel DSLR

Nikon D2X, 12.4-Megapixel DSLR 09/16/2004 05:52 AM

Nikon has finally announced the successor to their D1X and boy, does it look hot! Called the D2X (surprise!), the defining feature of the new DSLR is a 12.4-megapixel CMOS sensor that can shoot up to five frames per second at its highest resolution, but can also be bumped down to 6.8-megapixel to increase its framerate to 8 per second. In addition, Nikon has updated their Wi-Fi transmitter for the camera; the WT-2 has both 802.11b/g support and "Capture Control," giving you the ability to control the shutter of the camera from a PC or other mobile device.

A lot of technical details about the camera were left out of Nikon's announcement, but the company noted that the D70 will accept interchangeable lenses. The camera body uses a Nikon F lens mount and sports Nikon's DX format sensor, so it's compatible with all AF Nikkor lenses.

Nikon Germany accidentally let the product manual for the new Nikon D50 leak on the web for a bit. It's been pulled already, but not before the pertinent details of the new entry-level DSLR were extracted. Expect the the D50 to have a 6.1-megapixel sensor, a silver case, and use SD cards for storage. Now all we need is a price (expect it well under a grand).

Well, and a picture—this one is a fake.

Nikon D2X & Underwater Housing Reviewed
(Verdict: Awesome)

Nikon D2X & Underwater Housing Reviewed
(Verdict: Awesome) 03/17/2005 03:51 AM

Wetpixel has a review of both the Nikon D2X 12.4 MP camera and its Subal ND2 underwater housing. The pictures produced by the camera are vibrant and incredibly well-balanced, which you would expect for the $5,000 it costs. Still, reviewer Dr. Alex Mustard says that if you don't need very large output sizes for your shots, you can purchase a Nikon D70 for considerably less that produces rather decent underwater shots. The housing is designed very well and offers excellent ergonomics—an important consideration when on a dive. Dr. Mustard muses "It costs $5,000. And if you fill it up with water, it is worth $0," but goes on to say "in a word, [the D2X] is awesome." Some gorgeous pics accompany the review, so be sure to check them out. (Thanks, Eric!)
